Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using Alternify at alternify.online, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, please do not use the site. We may update these terms at any time; continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.

2. Service Description

Alternify is a free, community-curated directory that helps users discover open-source, free-tier, and lower-cost alternatives to paid software. The site provides search, browsing, feature comparisons, and a savings calculator. We do not sell software, manage subscriptions, or act as a reseller for any tool listed.

3. Permitted Use

You may use Alternify for personal, non-commercial research purposes. You are welcome to share links to pages on this site. You may not:

• Scrape, crawl, or systematically download site content.
• Use automated tools to submit queries or interact with the site in a manner that degrades performance for others.
• Reproduce or redistribute our curated data or comparisons for commercial purposes.
• Attempt to circumvent any technical measures used to protect the site.

4. Accuracy of Information

We strive to keep pricing, feature data, and alternative rankings accurate, but we make no guarantee of completeness or timeliness. Software pricing and availability change frequently. Always verify current pricing directly with the tool provider before making purchasing decisions. Alternify is not liable for decisions made based on information on this site.

5. Third-Party Links

Alternify links directly to third-party software websites. These links are provided for convenience only. We do not endorse, control, or take responsibility for the content, privacy practices, or availability of those external sites. Links to third-party tools are never paid placements — rankings are based solely on feature parity and affordability.

6. Intellectual Property

The Alternify name, logo, and original written content on this site are the property of Alternify. Software names, logos, and trademarks displayed belong to their respective owners and are used for identification and comparison purposes only — their presence does not imply affiliation or endorsement.

7. Advertising

This site displays advertisements served by Google AdSense. Ads are clearly distinguishable from editorial content. Advertising revenue supports the maintenance of this free service. Advertisers have no influence over editorial rankings or recommendations. See our Privacy Policy for details on how advertising cookies work.

8. Disclaimers

Alternify is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses or other harmful components.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Alternify and its operators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, this site or any content on it — even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
